The Manduka eKO mat is the most durable, high-performance and eco-friendly mat on the market.
Developed over 3 years by a team of yoga teachers, the natural and
biodegradable eKo mat provides the ultimate combination of cushion and grip using the most environmentally-friendly methods possible.
The top surface has a naturally 'grippy' 'Sea Grass' surface texture which also has a closed-cell surface to keep out moisture (sweat) from seeping into the mat and breeding bacteria for better durability.
The dual function cushion (bottom layer) is a thicker natural rubber with superior cushioning that is achieved by a toxic-free softening process, free of foaming agents and plasticizers found in other mats.
And the stretch-resistant scrim (center) usese biodegradable
cotton and recycled polyester blend to bind the top and bottom layers together with heating process, eliminating need for toxic glues.
Due to the properties of natural rubber, all rubber mats have a certain smell. However, Manduka’s eKO mat has been engineered so that the initial scent fades over time with use. The smell will dissipate within 2-3 weeks, or sooner if you leave your mat unrolled when storing. To speed up this process, you can also wipe the mat down with a solution of 50/50 organic cider vinegar and water or Manduka’s mat restore (a vinegar based solution). It is important to note that the smell is natural and not a result of off-gassing from toxic chemicals.
